While in-person networking and in-person education can seem like an effort sometimes, it is always worth it! What a pleasure it was to be in a room filled with other #hospitalityminded folks this morning, surrounded by the magic of Sesame Place Philadelphia. For the volunteer team I serve with on the Philadelphia Works, Inc. Hospitality & Entertainment Industry Partnership (H&EIP) led by Sherelle W., I'm so glad we challenged ourselves to do something BIG and memorable and in person. And it was wonderful to finally meet you face-to-face Jenny Lorenzo, SPHR and Geoff Allen! It was also great to reconnect with Hope Sterner and make some new industry connections as well - Valarie Gilbert, MS, PCC, Ronald S., Luke Eschbach and Leonard Bentley.
